As a resident of hot and humid Singapore, I’m always seeking cooling activities to beat the tropical climate. On a recent staycation with friends,
I discovered the winter wonderland of Snow City – an indoor snow center featuring sub-zero temperatures that made us feel like we were skiing in the Alps without ever leaving Singapore. We had an absolute blast bundling up to play in the snow.
Layering Up for the Cold
Snow City is conveniently located downtown right next to Stadium MRT station. After picking up our voucher and signing the waiver, we headed to the locker rooms to gear up in the provided padded jackets, gloves and boot covers.
Stepping through the insulated doors into the snow center, the dramatic temperature plunge down to -5 degrees Celsius made me gasp! The icy indoor landscape looked utterly surreal against tropical Singapore just outside.
Sliding Down Snowy Slopes
Clutching our ice tube sleds, my friends and I wasted no time trekking up the snowy bump like eager kids and sliding down together. The smooth, icy slope allowed us to pick up serious speed for mini sled races.
For those wanting true winter sports, a separate area offered snowboarding sessions on special boards. Sliding across the powdery snow brought back fond memories of trips to Japan’s ski resorts.
Frosty Fun and Photo Ops
In between sledding, we let loose and played around in the winter wonderland like schoolchildren. I flopped down to make snow angels then pelted friends with perfectly formed snowballs. We even made a misshapen “Frosty” snowman!
The white backdrop made for perfect selfies and photos. Props like sleds and snowboards at the mini photo booth let us get creative. Before I knew it, our 90 minutes of snow play time was over.
A Refreshing Winter Escape
Stepping back out into Singapore’s sweltering heat felt almost shocking after our time in the snow. For a short while, Snow City let us revel in winter magic. I loved how Snow City made snow accessible anytime by bringing winter indoors.
